Quotes

"I sometimes found myself more comfortable around my TV family than I did with my own parents and sisters."

"The Hollywood lifestyle was just overwhelming. A party here, an interview there, magazine and modeling shoots daily, your face everywhere and girls throwing themselves at you. As great as it felt at the time, I still felt something missing, and that I needed to change."

"To say that the banana happened by accident is even more unintelligent than to say that no one designed the Coca Cola can."

"The Hollywood industry is a twisted place to grow up. It was bad when I was there, but even more so now."¹
